In 1961, a research project was started between IBM and Akron General Hospital to determine if it was possible to reduce the amount of paperwork required of doctors and nurses. The short video can be viewed at [1]. One aspect of very forward thinking contained in this video made in 1966, is that the nurse on the floor was reminded when a medication was due for one of her patients, and the drug name and dose. The conclusion reached was that paperwork can be reduced, disease "correlation" can be performed, and errors reduced.
